"My goal is to design the best bike shop in the world. I don't mean the
biggest, or the one with the most expensive stuff, or the most
exclusive. I mean the best. What the "best" means to me is the most
inviting, friendly, and knowledgeable staff, the highest quality
products at a fair price and a place that is not just a store but a
community hub; a place where cyclists and passersby can feel welcome." -Mark Vaughn

one of the leading professional female surfers of our time.When: November 5-December 5Where:Bethany Hamilton on KickstarterFunding Goal: $60,000

PART ONE:
Part one is an adrenalin-pumping and compelling technical sports performance
film that showcases Bethany's precision skill and passion for navigating some
of the best reef breaks and big waves around the globe. Many people know
Bethany for her incredible recovery from a tiger shark attack ten years ago in
Hawaii and for her philanthropic efforts and motivational speaking events worldwide,
but first and foremost she is a professional surfer - and one of the best in
the world. Part one is full of surprises and we guarantee that your heart will
be racing and that you will not be disappointed!

PART TWO:
Part Two is a documentary that charts Bethany's journey from pre-shark attack
days to her pro-surfing life today. This section is about creating a personal
relationship with our audience and taking them behind the scenes and into her
private life - emotionally, spiritually and physically. An intimate video
portrait that reveals a side of Bethany that you have never seen before.
Bethany wanted to show her athleticism and technical ability on the waves but
also to create a bond with viewers that would encourage them to fiercely pursue
their dreams and kick bootie in the water, on the court, in the classroom or
wherever their passion takes them.
